Ahhhh well its been six years, countless moments of exhilaration and frustration, but the end is here and so far, responses have been mixed. Typically however the negative responses have stemmed from a one-note explanation but if you’ve followed the show carefully, it goes much deeper than that. Personally, for me, this is the perfect conclusion to the show. It ties up character arcs, brings everything together from day one and shows the writers had a plan from the very beginning.

For non-fans, please start from the beginning and work your way through because it’s completely worth it and the finale won’t make any sense at all coming in blind. For us fans, I recommend checking out my favourite LOST podcast The Transmission with Ryan and Jen. They give their initial reactions and some insight into the more complex themes. It’s emotional, it’s well delivered and a nice coda to the series as a whole.

With only nine episodes of the series remaining (including a 2 hour finale), the creators are finally giving us some of the larger answers which is great. There’s still so much unanswered but I have faith (ha!) they will give us everything we need. Although this week-by-week waiting is really killing me!
